(UT CAP program) University of Texas at Tyler

<p>Hello there, I'm new to this site, so I really hope this topic is on the right board.
Anyway, I kind of had my heart set on going to the University of Texas at AUSTIN but I was offered CAP and qualified for places such as UT Tyler. I didn't qualify for places closer to Austin (where I live) such as Dallas, San Antonio, or Arlington, but I did qualify for Tyler. I was really upset that I did not automatically get into UT but there's no point in me stressing about it any longer, maybe I'll have to spend a year at UT Tyler till I get 30 hours, at least a 3.25 GPA, and then automatically get accepted into UT Austin (those are the requirements).
But the point of this thread--Does anyone know what UT Tyler is like? Has anyone did CAP over there? I hope this doesn't sound too shallow/ignorant but what are the people like at the school or at Tyler in general? Is there a lot to do in the city of Tyler?
And also, does anyone think it is worth doing CAP for UT ESPECIALLY if I have to do it all the way in Tyler, Texas--or should I just go to another college and maybe transfer to UT on my own...???</p>

<p>Thank you for listening! Please let me know what UT Tyler is like and if it is worth it. I would really appreciate it. </p>
